I don't know if the Barber Collectors who follow auctions realize this,
but, Barber Collector extraordinaire, John Hugon (who passed away
in 2010 ) had not one but two great Half Dollar collections.

His 2nd collection is featured in Heritge's Central States sale next week.

Some great stuff being offered - it's well worth your while to check out this sale.

Good luck and please report back what you added to your collection !!

You know I will .... \(thumbs u

I found this "Baby" on eBay this morning - and
one of our own spotted my eBay name - and asked
if it was I who was bidding on his coin [ no names
mentioned ] ... so he was nice enough to stop the
auction and award the coin to me at my bid price.

Talk about a nice guy !!

Many thanks again, and I know you may not have
wanted your name out there - but you know I sincerely
appreciated the jesture !!

I replaced the previously posted 1904-S in PCGS 40 with the one
I have imaged above. I think this one is far more natural looking
than the one I posted the other day.

A friend mentioned that another nice XF/AU collection
of Halves was just sold to his dealer - and he had quite
a few upgrades for me - but these two are my newps ...

A friend has sent me a few Quarters to see if I can use them
when I am at the ANA Summer Seminar this June 23 to July 6th
in Colorado Springs.

Ponyexpress8 and I are conducting a course in the coinage
of Charles Barber during the second week - not only will there
be over a Quarter of a Million Dollars in Barber material - but
some well known Barber Collectors will be making a guest appearance.

Needless to say, I am excited to finally make it to ANA - and
its something I have always wanted to do since I heard about the ANA.

Too bad I wasn't more involved in the hobby while I was a student
ages ago. Be that as it may - there are still spaces left in the Seminar
to any one who is interested.

I have a PDF file with all the information that I can forward to all
who might be interested. I just need a PM from you with your email
address.

Thanks...

Now - lets see some more Barbers !!!










These four are currently listed ATS on the BST - but I plan on taking them
to Colorado Springs if unsold by then.

My Liberty Head Nickel collection was originally started with a dozen or so
coins that were pulled from circulation by my Grandfather back in the 30's and 40's.
The one coin in my collection that was a 55 [ all the others are a min. 58+ ]
is the 1883 No Cents... ... My Grandfather saved over 25 of these No Cents nickels...
I guess durning the Depression many a piggy bank got raided.

My raw coins were sent to PCGS for grading last year and I plan on giving
my AU 55 to my 1st cousin's son, who is a Junior at Stonehill College in
Massachusetts, with the hope that one day, he gives it to his Grandson !!

Here's the NEWP for my collection:
